I want to make eleventeen kabillion. I will probably make about 60.
 
1 today, 125 in 95 rounds. I've birdied 17 of the 18 holes on my home course, the one left is gonna be a tough one but I have over 6 months left to get it!
 
Right now leading my league after 11 weeks with 18 birdies. 36 tomorrow to hopefully put a few more on the board.
 
I guess I spoke too soon with that post yesterday - bagged the final hole I hadn't birdied yet with a zero-putt bird today. 400 yard par 4, I hit my second shot about 4 yards short of the green and putted from there, made the putt and closed out the final hole I needed - have now birdied all 18 holes on my home course this year.

3 birdies today takes me to 128 in 96 rounds.
 
I’m now officially averaging one birdie per round with 33 birdies in 32.5 rounds!
 
the way I'm playing I'd be happy with any. I'm hoping for like 5. I gotta get out and play more though, just hate trying to get on solo.
 
sitting at 54 out of my wanted 100 on the year through 32 rounds.
 
Birdie on par 5 at Firestone on Friday

Birdie on Saturday before the rains came... That makes the streak 4...
 
1 today, 129 in 97 rounds.
 
5 rounds in the 10 days since last update. Shut out in the first one but then added 10 birdies and second eagle of 2021 in last four rounds. Won't reach my original 2021 goal to average a birdie per round at each course I play but tracking to help set a more realistic bar for next year.

How many do I want to make? A lot.

How many do I think I’ll make? I’d be shocked if it’s more than three.

After making two during my last round (which I'd never done before), I'm at three for the year. One more and I'll exceed expectations.
 
Hanging in there at 36 in 35.5 rounds.

I went from being the birdie leader in the league to having a crazy drought. That needs to change tonight.

2 birdies in my last two rounds! Feels like I got that monkey off my back, although the rest of the holes weren't much to write home about...
The 2nd one was nearly an eagle. Chip from just off the green did a full 360 lip-out to leave a 2-inch tap in birdie.

1 birdie in 2021 would be more than I had all of 2020! :cautious: Hoping that all my off-season practice pays off to help the handicap and give me more looks at birdie putts. 5 sounds like a reasonable goal for myself. Baby steps!
 
I've made 3 so far this year, all on par 3. I would like to make 2 more for a total of 5 and I would like for one to be on either a par 4 or par 5 as well instead of just a single good shot then a putt give it two or three good shots in a row.
 
1 down, 29 to go
3 down, 27 to go

par 4 4th, 370m. Driver, 9i and a little luck on the 4m putt.
par 3 12th, 132m. 9i and a good 1.5m putt

ALMOST capitalised on a nice drive down our short par 5 7th. 430m - but knocked the hero 5w attempt behind and right of the green. On the edge of OB, too. Settled for par :rolleyes::LOL:

Four rounds since last update. At least one birdie in each and flipped Whispering Oaks from red to black with a pair there. Won't reach my original 2021 goal to average a birdie per round at each course I play but tracking to help set a more realistic bar for next year.
